My Cartoonist Girlfriend

Chapter 280: Fujiwara Chika, Really... (1/3)

During the afternoon club activity, after turning on the computer, Asakura Feng did not start working immediately. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Shirogane Miyuki.

When Eriri saw this, she came over and asked, "Feng-kun, aren't you going to start drawing?"

"Hmm? Hehe, wait a moment, I'm waiting for a reply from Senior Shirogane." Asakura Kaede smiled and showed the contents on his phone to Eriri.

[Senior, don't forget to take pictures of Ishigami during the sports festival in two days.]

"Oh~~ So that's it. Fengjun, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about it."

When Ying Lili saw this, she also smiled with realization and anticipation.

Women's clothing, this is a topic that will interest anyone who hears about it, not to mention that Ishigami Yu's own conditions are not bad. He is not the type who will blind people when he wears women's clothing. Maybe the effect will be very good!

When others saw the two of them, they couldn't help but become curious.

Uchimaki Subaru asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

"Hey, this, I can't tell you for now!"

Ying Lili shook her head happily and said, "We'll show it to you after we get the consent of the person involved."

After all, it is about Ishigami Yu's women's clothing, so it cannot be leaked easily. I'd better ask him first when the time comes.

For some reason, Ishigami Yu, who was busy in the Student Union of Shuchiin, felt a chill on his back and sneezed.

"Ah!"

After sniffing, Ishigami Yu looked around vigilantly, and then his eyes fell on Shinomiya Kaguya who was cleaning not far away.

Shinomiya Kaguya noticed Ishigami Yu's gaze, looked over and asked, "Ishigami-san, what's wrong?"

Shaking his head, Ishigami Yu said, "Just now I felt a chill on my back, so I couldn't help but think of Senior Sister Shinomiya. It seems that it was just my illusion."

"..."

Shinomiya Kaguya didn't understand at first, but she realized it the next second. It turned out that in Ishigami Yu's heart, she was the type of person who was always planning something behind the scenes?

Looking at Ishigami Yu who turned around and continued to work, Shinomiya Kaguya took a deep breath and told herself not to get angry. After all, the president was still in the student union.

Shirogane Miyuki, who witnessed all of this, was trying hard to hold back his laughter. He held his phone in his hand and silently sent a message to Asakura Kaede.

Shirogane Yuxing: [No problem, I'll find a good angle and take more photos.]

After editing the information, Shirogane Miyuki stood up from his chair with a smile, walked to the sofa, sat next to Ishigami Yu, and started looking at the table in the notebook in his hand.

On Fengzhizaki's side, after receiving the reply from Shirogane Miyuki, Asakura Kaede nodded, put away her phone and started working seriously.

During the two-day weekend, Asakura Kaede went out to work and there were guests at home, so the two of them didn't draw much over the weekend and didn't even finish half an episode. They will have to work harder in the new week.

While drawing the storyboard at hand, Asakura Feng said to everyone, "Uchimaki, Buchou, Usami, have you confirmed your travel plans for the end of the year? November is almost here, and Eriri and I will make travel plans in advance. If nothing goes wrong, we should leave on Christmas Day and return before the end of the year."

When everyone heard this, they all perked up.

Uchimaki Subaru was the first to say, "I have no problem with that. After I went back and told my family, they all had no objection. It's vacation after all, and we're all going out together."

The minister also raised his hand and said, "That's fine with me too. I'm usually free during the holidays."

Indeed, if he is not asked to come out and play, with the temperature in winter, the minister will most likely just sleep at home and be lazy every day.

Usami had no problem with that either, and said happily, "I've already told my family about this, and when mom heard that I was going with everyone, she wasn't worried at all!"

Usami had never traveled by herself before, as she was still young. But when Usami's mother heard that it was a club activity, that the club's president would also attend, and that Asakura Kaede and Eriri would also go together, she felt relieved. After all, whether it was Asakura Kaede or Eriri, they had social experience and other aspects, so they were very safe when they were out and it was not easy for them to get into trouble.

Since everyone was fine, Eriri and Asakura Kaede were relieved, and their next plan was to go on a trip to Hokkaido together.

After thinking for a while, Asakura Kaede said to Eriri: "Have you told Kasumigaoka-senpai about this?"

"Don't worry. I talked to her on Saturday, and Shiyu said it's okay." Eriri nodded with a smile. "She was also quite surprised that we were going to Hokkaido, but she gladly accepted it in the end. After all, she said that she had been busy writing a book all year, and it was time for her to relax and have some fun at the end of the year."

"That's good, this way we have all the people."

As for the plan, it was handled by Asakura Kaede and Eriri. Whether it was finding flights or accommodation, Asakura Kaede and Eriri's families had some connections, which made it much easier. Eriri aside, Asakura Kaede's father, Asakura Takaichi, was in the trade business, so he knew a lot of people from all walks of life, so it was easy for him to find a cost-effective B&B in Hokkaido.

After confirming these things, the art department fell silent again.

Asakura Feng was drawing, he glanced at Usami from time to time. He found that Usami's current state was much worse than usual. Originally, during the club activities, Usami could be said to have always been drawing seriously, but today, her speed of writing was obviously much slower, and her eyes were a little erratic.

This situation is much more obvious than what happened between herself and Eriri back then. Asakura Kaede can already predict her future actions and hopes that nothing will go wrong.

The club activities ended at 4 pm and everyone went home.

Then, it was Thursday.

This day was not a special day for Toyonosaki, but for Shuchiin Academy on the other side, it was a very busy time, that is, the sports festival.

When she just arrived at school early in the morning, Asakura Kaede was browsing her phone in her spare time and saw the account of Fujiwara Chika, whom she followed on Twitter. She posted a photo of herself wearing sportswear, a ponytail and a headband.

I have to say, Fujiwara-senpai is really big. Even someone like Asakura Kaede who doesn't care and only likes Eriri will inevitably be attracted to her.

Well, give it a thumbs up.

Then, adhering to the idea that happiness alone is worse than happiness with others, Asakura Kaede put away her cell phone without hesitation, without letting Takasu Ryuji and Kitamura Yusaku find out.

At noon, the long-awaited highlight is about to arrive.

Chapter 281 HSO! (2/3)

I brought my own lunch today, but at everyone's invitation, Asakura Kaede and Eriri still brought their lunch boxes and came to the cafeteria to eat with everyone.

After bringing back the pork chop rice he bought from the cafeteria, Kitamura Yusaku glanced at the bento boxes of Asakura Kaede and Eriri, which were identical except for the size, and immediately made a sour sound: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I feel like I shouldn't have asked you guys to come over. You're really enviable."

Pouring a bowl of miso soup from the thermos for Eriri, Asakura Feng said with a smile: "After all, it's your own fault. I was thinking of eating with Eriri in the art club."

"No, you two slipped away yesterday to find a place to eat. We can't keep doing this." Usami also said, "If Eriri didn't come, Taiga would always run off to hang out with Minori, and I'd be the only girl here. It's very awkward, you know?"

"Hmm...it seems to be true?"

Eriri turned her head, observed the cafeteria and said, "Where's Shiyuto? It's already lunch time, why isn't he here yet?"

"She's probably revising a manuscript somewhere." Asakura Kaede started to eat leisurely, saying, "Yesterday afternoon, I had a phone call with Editor Nakajima, and I heard Editor Machida complaining about the manuscript that Senior had just sent over. I guess there are a lot of things that need to be revised."

"Ah~~Is her new volume not good? I haven't asked her about this recently, and I thought everything was going well!" Ying Lili drank a sip of soup and squinted her eyes comfortably and said, "She hasn't said anything about the source material recently, but I didn't expect that the writing is not satisfactory."

While eating, Asakura Kaede took out her cell phone and sent a message to Machida Sonoko, and soon received a positive reply from the other party.

"Editor Machida got back to me. There are indeed many problems in the manuscript, but they are not problems with the plot, but some problems with the logic of the writing. I guess the senior sister spent a lot of time writing in the late night, and she may be a little confused. She is probably revising the manuscript in a corner now."

Hearing Asakura Kaede's words, Usami on the opposite side couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that the life of a light novel writer is not so easy."

"Of course, especially for young people like us, we can't be compared to those old-timers who slack off from time to time." Asakura Kaede shrugged, "It's okay for me, after all, my debut work went smoothly and it has been animated. But compared to me, it's more difficult for senior sister to get started because of the type of work she did. In addition, the library also wants to cultivate her, so the editor will definitely keep a closer eye on her. It's hard for senior sister, she's not the kind of person who likes to be restricted."

Everyone nodded in agreement. After spending half a year with this famous senior, everyone knew that Kasumigaoka Utaha was a casual person. She would probably take out her notebook to write down any inspiration she got while chatting with you. Apart from her occasional foul mouth, she was very much a literary young woman.

It must be very depressing for a senior like this to revise a manuscript under the close gaze of an editor.

Everyone couldn't help but smile knowingly as they imagined a senior school girl in black stockings and long legs eating rice balls while typing on the keyboard.

After all, who here hasn't been scolded by her once or twice?

He glanced at the carrot Eriri was passing to him and glared at her. Then, as Eriri smiled, he gave her a piece of his chicken wing and continued, "It's highly likely that Senior won't show up today. According to the information editor Nakajima sent me just now, she's busy. She may have to think about the second book signing event at the end of this year or the beginning of next year."

"Again?"

"Yes." Speaking of this, Asakura Feng also showed a playful smile, "Perhaps seeing her success, several publishing houses have launched similar light novels for women in the past two months, and the authors have also directly advertised that they are all female authors. It is obvious that they are trying to compete with her."

Although not many people go to the library, Asakura Kaede has been keeping abreast of the recent developments in the industry. Although one's own level is the most important in this industry, one must also be aware of the real-time situation in the industry.

Usami suddenly realized, "Indeed, I occasionally see recommendations for similar novels, and I also see them when I go to bookstores. I have read the content of the trial reading, but compared to the writing style of the senior sister, I feel that it is a lot worse."

Eriri happily ate the chicken wings and nodded, saying, "After all, Shiyu is a genuine academic genius, and her literary skills are definitely not low. She can't be compared with other publishing houses who just pick two unknown little authors to write. It's a pity that there are many such people. When they see a success, they start to copy it because they think there is money to be made, which is doomed to not last long. However, Busukawa is not willing to lag behind, and he doesn't even give others a chance to grab his trouser legs and climb up."

Looking through the information on the mobile phone network, Asakura Feng said: "After all, Busikawa is also a top light novel publisher in the industry. It is impossible for them to turn a blind eye to their move. However, I didn't expect that the senior sister agreed to hold a book signing event. It seems that she is not willing to admit defeat."

Moreover, Asakura Kaede doesn't think that Kasumigaoka Utaha will lose. Not to mention the work, if the other party brings out the personality of a beautiful author, Kasumigaoka Utaha will just take a simple selfie and post it, and that will be a sure win. She herself is the biggest trump card.

This wave is just about waiting for the opponent to make a move, and then countering it one by one, and beating the opponent until he has no temper at all.

"Om~~"

The sudden vibration of a cell phone attracted the attention of everyone at the table. It was Asakura Kaede's phone ringing again.

"Ah, it's Senior Shirogane!"

Asakura Kaede's mouth corners involuntarily curled up as she clicked on the message.

"puff!!!"

Eriri, who was beside Asakura Kaede, saw him laughing and came over, instantly laughing out loud as well: "Hahaha! Good...good...uuu..."

The HSO that was about to come out of her mouth was managed to be held back, but Eriri's eyes were firmly fixed on the phone screen.

Asakura Feng didn't expect that it was only noon and Shirogane Miyuki had already sent her the photos he had taken. It seemed that he had some free time for lunch.

In the photo, Ishigami Yu, who is not short to begin with, is wearing the girls' school uniform of Shuchiin. And because this uniform belongs to Kaguya Shinomiya, although it can be worn, it seems a little small, and it feels like a tights.

But this guy's hairstyle covers half of his face. If you look at him from the side, considering his already good looks and tall stature, he seems to be okay?

It’s just that look of someone who has lost their dreams that is quite annoying.

After sniffing, Eriri held back her laughter and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"NICE!"

Chapter 282 That's it? That's it? (3/3)

Right after I finished praising him, Shirogane Miyuki sent several more photos of Ishigami Yu. The last photo even made Ishigami Yu look shy because he saw it?

Could it be that Baiyin Yuxing was secretly filming? That shouldn't be the case.

"Puff puff!"

Ying Lili covered her mouth and laughed: "If I could put on makeup and do it carefully, I guess no one would notice this expression."

"Indeed, I just changed my clothes."

Asakura Kaede said in agreement.

The interaction between the two aroused everyone's curiosity. Kitamura Yusaku pushed his glasses, got up from his seat, trotted over and asked, "What are you watching? I think it's something very interesting!"

Asakura Feng quickly turned off the photo, and with one hand pushed the chin of Kitamura Yusaku who came over and said, "No, I can't show it to you for now. I have to ask the person concerned first."

"Oh? This is getting more and more interesting. It looks like it's going to be more exciting than I thought." Kitamura Yusaku said. "Can you give me a hint?"

"A hint? That's fine." Asakura Feng asked Kitamura to sit back down first, and then said to everyone, "You should know what kind of event is going to be held at Shuchiin today, right?"

Shuchiin? Activities?

After a moment of hesitation, Usami was the first to speak: "I know! Sports Festival!"

"Yes, the sports festival."

Asakura Feng sent a message to Ishigami Yu to ask if he could show the photos to Kitamura and the others, and said, "That's all I can say. You can guess the rest yourself."

"With only this one condition, it would be very difficult." While eating, Takasu Ryuji thought, "Could it be related to Shinomiya-senpai? But it's unlikely. Shinomiya-senpai will not let Asakura and Sawamura get any handle on her."

No, if you insist on saying it's a handle, there is indeed one, but it's not that exaggerated. When Kaguya Shinomiya and Shirogane Miyuki are dating smoothly, these things will naturally be known to everyone.

Asakura Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with Senior Shigong."

If it wasn't Shinomiya Kaguya, it would be hard to guess. Everyone started thinking hard and even lost interest in eating.

Only Asakura Kaede and Eriri were not affected. After all, they had already seen the photos of Ishigami Yu wearing women's clothes, which were extremely appetizing.

As for the question that Asakura Kaede sent to Ishigami Yu, the other party did not respond. Maybe he is debating with Shirogane Miyuki who is taking pictures?

No matter what, there will definitely be a reply after a while.

And I waited like this until the first class in the afternoon was over.

During the break, Asakura Kaede, who was almost hypnotized by the math teacher's continuous voice calls throughout the class, yawned and put down the textbook. He was about to buy a bottle of coffee when the phone in his pocket rang.

I picked it up and saw that it was Ishigami Yu who finally sent a message.

Ishigami Yu: [Sorry for taking so long to reply. I was in the game. As for the photos, it’s okay to show them to Kitamura and the others. Everyone in the school has seen them anyway. Just don’t spread them around Fengzhizaki.]

Hmm? Unexpectedly easy to talk to?

Asakura Kaede walked out with her cell phone in hand, editing messages while doing so.

[I'm a little surprised. I thought you would object, but you're so straightforward? ]
